ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
after to open Dolphin (or a new directory) the home-key does not work right
away;
the space-key need to be pressed, so that the first file/document
is marked; but then, if another file/document is marked, then the
home-key works, so that the first file/document is marked;
that's a contradiction; the home-key should work at any time

I think the problem is because the first file/document is already in focus,
what means that the home-key does not work right away;
better would be that there would be no focus when the content
of a directory appears; in this case the home-key would work right away;
instead of having 2 keys that do not work at any time,
namely the home-key and the space-key, what is confusing, it would be
much better to have only 1 key that works at any time;
so the solution would be: no focus when the content
of a directory appears

Dolphin works in that kind of problem exactly like
Windows Explorer in Windows XP;
I think that Dolphin copied that behaviour;
Dolphin should go a modern way, a more proper way
by using only 1 key (the home-key) that works at any time
